I didn't watch to see what he installed, but I would recommend MoOde Audio. Easy install, under constant development, supports any typical file source (I use a Vortexbox server), can handle Tidal etc... Set and forget, control from a smartphone or tablet. Cost free or a donation, you choose.

That's an excellent video, one of DARKO's better ones.
Especially useful I think is the explanation of the degree of complexity (or simplicity) for those who may wish to go down the path of 'building' your own hardware & software parts. And finally a sound quality summary comparison with a one-box 'consumer' solution like a BLUESOUND Node 2i - the latter for those who don't care at all for the 'assemble-your-own' semi-DIY approach starting with a Raspberry Pi.

I should add, MoOde is installed in the way Darko shows on the Raspberry Pi.

I use Volumio, same process of installation.
When I looked at Moode a couple of years ago, it had an app. So not a go-er for me. However looks like they are now doing a browser page, I might just burn an SSD and see what its like

Damn, I just checked and as I have a Sparky board it is incompatible with Moode.
However... Backup plan, I'll use my other Pi and do it there.

MoOde has always been a browser interface. I've been using it for quite a while.

And just for those who don't know the Raspberry Pi costs about $50. Add a powerbank as psu and a cheap DAC such as the Topping D50s and you have a streaming solution for not much money. Add a better DAC for even more.

Yeah, there are quite a few plug in DACs for the Pi.
